To Cuma.


Lend hospitable Rights, and house-respect,You that the Virgine with the faire eys deckt,Make Fautresse of your stately-seated Towne:At foot of Sardes, with the high-haird Crowne,Inhabiting rich Cuma: where ye TasteOf Hermus heauenly Fluent; all embrac'tBy curld-head whyrlpits: And whose waters moueFrom the diuine seede of immortall Ioue.
